Ask HN: What was your first computer?
It's always neat to hear people's stories of their first computer running on some 4 or 8 bit processor.

- BlueWinds 13y agoI won't link it here (my site is visually SFW, but deals with NSFW content regularly), but I recently wrote an article containing the story of my first computer (you can find it with a search for Women in Technology BlueWinds if you're interested). I was too young, I don't remember much about the computer itself - but it had a big TURBO button on the front which could switch it from 20 to 40mhz. Turbo indeed.
